What is the purpose of Title X?

• A. To regulate consumer electronics
• B. To regulate pesticide registrations
• C. To enforce building code compliance
• D. To reduce hazards from residential lead-based paint in homes

Answer: (D)

Title X focuses on preventing lead poisoning from paint in housing. It established a nationwide effort to reduce lead-based paint hazards in homes, especially those built before 1978. The approach includes requiring disclosure of known lead-based paint hazards in real estate transactions, funding programs to remove or contain lead hazards, and promoting public awareness about lead risks and safe renovation practices. The goal is to protect children from lead exposure by addressing the lead paint hazards that can persist in existing homes. It’s not about electronics, pesticides, or building codes, which are handled under other laws.
